Why is the water wet?

Answer 1

It's because of it's chemical composition. The specific way 2 hydrogen (H) atoms and 1 oxygen (O) come together to make H20 is why it has the characteristics that it does. But you're probably wondering why does water freeze at exactly 0 Celcius and boil at exactly 100 Celcius? It's because the Celcius temperature scale was based on water and it's characteristics. There actually should be another number in that range for when wate vapor (in it's gas form) turns into plasma but water vapor becomes incredibly unstable at high temperatures so it is very hard to get an accurate reading.

Answer 2

Water is wet because the wetter, the better. In other words, "Viscosity." This is not to be confused with the city of the Visigoths who ended up ransacking the countryside and pillaging the poor villagers, and yes, the Village People, too.

Why is water wet? Water is wet so that the fish and other ocean, lake and river creatures can move through it with fluent ease. Friction is not your friend when you are trying to move. We need to be able to drink. We need for boats not to sink. We need for our plumbing to work. This is why water is wet.

But, really, why is water wet? Water is wet because our sensations say it is so. We feel wetness. We get out of a pool and we are dripping, uh, you know. We take a shower and we're, um, you know again.

The question of why is water wet cannot be answered with regular science methodology, but can be answered in Zen Physics. Water is wet because this is the nature of water. The nature of rock is to be hard. The nature of grass is to be green. The nature of water is to be wet. To take away from its true nature is to destroy what is and thus water is not water anymore. It may be ice, but it surely is not water. Water begets wetness. Wetness begets slipperiness. Slipperiness begets falling. Falling begets a long and painful hospital stay.

Answer 3

Water is "wet" because that's the word we gave it long ago to describe the properties of water and what it feels like when touched. Had a different word been created to describe said feeling, the water would be that instead.

As far as why it FEELS that way, beats me. I didn't do all that well in chemistry.

Answer 4

Water isn't wet. Things water touches are wet. Water is water.

Answer 5

It is a liquid. The molecules are farther apart then those of solids, and closer together than those of gasses. If you were to force them closer together, it would be solid, so not wet. For example, freezing it "turns it into" ice! If you were to force them apart, it would create a gas, in this case steam, which you would do primarily by heating it up. There are also other ways to expand and condence matter, but those are the most common for water.
